COURSES   IN    FORESTRY   AT    CORNELL 

.J^,  MONG  other  advantages,  the  neighborhood  of  Ithaca,  New  York,  the 

^J^Ltf       home  of  Cornel]  University,  is  especially  favorable  to  the  study  of 
^^  A yjt^       forestry.     The  region,  typical  of  a  large  part  of  New  York  State, 
^te»  J^j^l^M         >s  <)11(1  of  diversified  farms  and  woodland,  and  is  near  enough   to 
^r^gi^^jl^        the  extensive  wooded  tracts  of  the  Adirondacks  and  the  Catskills 
to  make  these  forests  readily   accessible  for  instructional   pur- 
poses. 

Under  the  three-terms  system  of  the  New  York  State  Col- 
lege of  Agriculture,  full  advantage  can  be  taken  of  these  favor- 
able surroundings.  Forestry  is  a  part  of  the  still  wider  field  of  agricul 
ture,  as  is  recognized  in  the  federal  Department  of  Agriculture,  which 
includes  the  Forest  Service;  therefore  the  courses  of  instruction  in  the  Cornell 
Department  of  Forestry  are  intimately  correlated  with  those  offered  in  the  other  de- 
partments of  the  College  of  Agriculture.  Whether  a  student  desires  only  a  general 
knowledge  of  forestry,  such  as  should  be  a  part  of  the  equipment  of  every  educated 
man  or  woman ;  whether  he  wishes  an  adequate  knowledge  of  woodlot  forestry ;  whether 
he  wishes  to  devote  his  attention  to  some  definite  phase  of  the  subject,  as  wood  tech- 
nology; or  whether  he  plans  to  enroll  in  the  regular  technical  course,  fitting  him- 
self for  the  practice  of  forestry  as  a  profession, — in  any  of  the  cases  the  opportunities 
at   Ithaca   afford   a  wide   range. 

For  those  who  desire  only  a  general  knowledge  of  forestry  a  number  of  courses 
are  provided  that  may  be  taken  in  connection  with  work  in  other  departments  of  the 
College  of  Agriculture  or  of  the  other  colleges  of  Cornell  University. 

On  the  college  domain  are  numerous  woodlots  typical  of  conditions  which  the 
New  York  State  farmer  has  to  meet  on  his  own  farm.  The  problems  here  given  to  the 
student  have  a  direct,  practical  bearing  on  situations  which  he  is  likely  to  confront 
later;  on  other  land  controlled  by  Cornell  University  he  has  an  opportunity  to  see 
and  to  take  part  in  extensive  tree-planting  operations. 

Any  one  who  wishes  only  a  specialized  course,  such  as  wood  utilization,  can  ob- 
tain such  a  course,  either  as  a  regular  or  as  a  special  student.  Short  popular  courses 
in  forestry  are  also  given,  both  in  the  winter  (short)  course  and  in  the  summer  session 
of  the  College  of  Agriculture. 

OUTLINE  OF  THE  PROFESSIONAL  COURSE 

If  the  student  is  enrolled  in  the  professional  course,  he  will,  during  the  summer 
terms  of  the  years  when  he  is  a  senior  and  a  graduate  student,  learn  to  know  the  real 
forest  of  the  great  North  Woods,  and  from  his  work  there  will  learn  how  to  apply  the 
fundamental  principles  of  forestry  to  the  forests  of  other  regions. 

The  work  of  the  freshman  and  sophomore  years  in  the  Department  of  Forestry 
at  Cornell  University  is  largely  devoted  to  securing  a  thorough  grounding  in  the  nat- 
ural sciences,  in  the  principles  and  practice  of  surveying  and  civil  engineering,  in  chem- 
istry and  physics,  and  in  English.  In  common  with  the  underclassman  in  other  de- 
partments of  the  College  of  Agriculture,  the  student  in  forestry  is  required  to  take 
certain  courses  in  the  subjects  mentioned  above.  Along  with  these  he  also  gets,  in  his 
first  two  years,  invaluable  practice  and  training  in  military  science  and  tactics,  which 
at  Cornell,  as  in  all  land  grant  colleges,  forms  a  required  part  of  the  student's  work. 

But,  while  the  forestry  course  maintains  strict  standards,  and  demands  of  its 
students  faithful  performance  of  their  duty  in  classroom  and  laboratory,  the  time  is 


NORTHEAST  FROM  THE  FORESTRY  BUILDING 

An  area  where  experimental  thinnings  and  plantings  can  be  made  on  university  property  under  the 

very  windows  of  the  forestry  buildings 


not  all  spent  in  unremitting  hard  work.  For  those  athletically  inclined,  the  freshman 
and  sophomore  years  offer  opportunities  of  trying  for  one  or  another  of  the  'varsity 
teams,  or  at  any  rate  of  seeing,  from  the  inside,  the  part  played  by  the  various  major 
and  minor  sports  in  undergraduate  life.  The  sixty  acres  of  playing  fields  of  Cornell  Uni- 
versity adjoin  the  Forestry  Building  and  may  be  used  by  students  in  the  department 
for  football,  baseball,  tennis,  lacrosse,  and  other  games  and  sports. 

In  the  summer  following  the  sophomore  year  the  professional  forestry  student 
has  his  first  extensive  field  work  in  the  summer  camp  in  civil  engineering,  where  for 
five  weeks,  at  some  place  on  the  picturesque  shores  of  Cayuga  Lake,  he  applies  in 
actual  surveys  and  topographic  mapping  the  theory  that  he  has  had  in  the  classroom 
and  in  local  field  trips. 

The  regular  technical  courses  in  forestry  begin  in  the  junior  year,  along  with  a 
general  course  in  economics  and  advanced  work  in  civil  engineering,  botany,  and  plant 
pathology. 

Junior  year  is  a  red-starred  one  in  many  ways  for  the  college  man.  As  an  upper- 
classman  the  junior  is  eligible  to  election  as  an  officer  in  such  an  organization  as  the 
Forestry  Club,  with  headquarters  in  a  permanent  club  room  in  the  Forestry  Build- 
ing, where  frequent  meetings  are  held  throughout  the  college  year,  with  occasional 
campfires  and  boat  rides.  In  1914,  and  again  in  1915,  members  of  this  Forestry  Club 
gave  successful  one-act  plays  as  a  part  of  the  entertainment  held  in  Farmers'  Week, 
one  of  the  annual  features  of  the  winter  in  the  College  of  Agriculture.  Socially,  too, 
if  he  is  so  inclined,  the  junior  may  find  many  occasions  that  go  to  make  this  year  one 
to  be  remembered. 

In  the  first  term  of  the  senior  year,  which  is  taken  in  the  summer,  the  Depart- 
ment of  Forestry,  students  and  professors,  moves  bodily  to  its  summer  camp  in  a  Large 
forest  tract  in  the  Adirondacks,  where  stress  is  laid  on  practical  field  (raining  in  forestry 
under  true  forest  conditions.     This  period  of  woods  work,  usually  spent  in  a  logging 


camp,  gives  a  part  of  the  real  experience  without  which  no  forester  is  worth  his  salt 
in  the  profession.  This  is  a  required  part  of  the  professional  forestry  course,  and  with- 
out it  no  regular  student  is  admitted  to  the  advanced  courses. 

In  the  senior  year  the  student  of  professional  forestry  resumes  his  lecture  and 
laboratory  work  at  Ithaca,  the  better  prepared  for  the  courses  in  forest  engineering, 
silviculture,  forest  protection,  and  forest  policy,  with  certain  electives  in  other  depart- 
ments which  he  should  take  to  round  out  his  training.  At  the  Commencement  in 
June,  the  degree  Bachelor  of  Science,  "with  all  the  rights  and  privileges  thereunto 
appertaining,"  is  conferred  on  those  who  have  satisfactorily  completed  the  four  years 
of  undergraduate  work. 

Then  follows,  in  the  Graduate  School,  another  summer  in  camp  in  the  Adiron- 
dacks,  or  in  some  other  large  forest  tract,  spent  in  lectures  and  field  demonstrations 
in  forest  management,  and  in  research  and  advanced  forestry  work  including  the  prep- 
aration of  a  thesis  leading  to  the  degree  Master  in  Forestry.  In  the  autumn  term 
the  graduate  year  in  forestry  culminates  with  a  course  in  forest  administration,  the 
completion  of  the  thesis,  and  finally  the  Master's  examination.  The  successful  candi- 
dates receive  the  degree  Master  in  Forestry  in  February,  and  are  then  ready  for  their 
careers  in  public  or  private  service. 

The  three-terms  arrangement,  whereby  instruction  in  forestry  is  given  in  summer 
camps  alternating  with  the  more  formal  lecture  and  laboratory  or  field  periods  in  Ithaca, 
is  believed  to  give  a  training  that  will  enable  the  graduate  in  forestry  to  work  up  to  the 
most  responsible  positions  that  the  profession  has  to  offer.     But  naturally  the  attain-

thousand  or  more  students  play  daily  at  baseball,  lacrosse,  tennis,  and  other  sports 


merit  of  a  high  place  in  forestry,  as  in  any  other  profession,  is  the  result  of  years  of 
experience  and  faithful  performance  of  duty.  Training,  plus  personality,  is  the  key 
to  success;  and  since  he  who  is  most  thoroughly  trained  will  go  farthest  and  highest, 
it  is  strongly  recommended  that  students  specialize  during  the  latter  years  of  their 
college  course  in  one  of  the  major  divisions  of  forestry — forest  management,  forest 
protection,  forest  administration,  or  forest  utilization.  Unusual  facilities  are  offered 
at  Cornell  University  for  advanced  study  and  research  along  these  lines,  and  also  in 
forest  entomology  and  forest  pathology. 

On  application,  the  Department  of  Forestry  will  be  glad  to  correspond  with  pros- 
pective forestry  students  regarding  the  opportunities  for  employment,  in  public  or 
private  service,  open  to  graduates  who  have  received  the  degree  Master  in  Forestry. 

AIMS  OF  THE  DEPARTMENT  OF  FORESTRY 

From  the  foregoing  statements  it  is  clear  that  one  of  the  aims  of  the  Department 
of  Forestry  of  the  New  York  State  College  of  Agriculture  at  Cornell  University  is  to 
give  instruction.  It  has  two  other  main  aims,  perhaps  equally  as  important — to  con- 
duct research,  and  to  give  direct  help  to  owners  of  forest  lands  in  New  York  State. 

As  regards  research  it  will  be  recalled  that  at  Ithaca  is  situated  the  Cornell  Uni- 
versity Agricultural  Experiment  Station,  which  works  in  cooperation  with  the  federal 
Department  of  Agriculture,  and  with  which  the  Department  of  Forestry  is  directly 
affiliated.  Both  graduate  and  undergraduate  students  have  opportunity  to  come 
in  close  touch  with  the  experiment  station  investigations.  In  the  research  study, 
which  forms  a  part  of  the  work  of  the  graduate  year,  the  students  may  actually  have 
a  part  in  such  experiments  and  investigations. 

To  help  owners  of  woodlands  and  forest  in  New  York  State  the  Department  of 
Forestry  has  one  professor  whose  duty  it  is  to  be  of  direct  help  through  correspond- 
ence, through  lectures,  and  through  personal  inspection  of  woodlands  or  of  land  to  be 
planted  to  forest.  The  Department  has  established  demonstration  areas  of  properly 
managed  forests  in  various  parts  of  the  State.  It  is  prepared  to  assist  in  the  cooper- 
ative care  of  forest  lands.  Any  resident  of  the  State  of  New  York  may  call  upon  the 
faculty  of  the  Department  of  Forestry  for  advice  on  any  forest  problem.  Other  than 
the  necessary  expenses  for  travel  and  subsistence  when  a  personal  inspection  of  the 
locality  is  required,  there  is  no  charge  for  this  service. 

EQUIPMENT 

The  Department  of  Forestry  occupies  its  own  Forestry  Building,  recently  built 
by  the  State  at  a  cost  of  $120,000,  and  dedicated  to  the  study  of  forestry  on  May  16, 
1914.  The  building  is  one  hundred  and  forty-two  feet  long  by  fifty-four  feet  wide, 
and  four  stories  in  height.  A  portion  of  the  building  is  being  occupied  temporarily 
by  the  Department  of  Plant  Breeding,  but  the  entire  building  is  planned  for  the 
Department  of  Forestry  and  is  to  be  used  exclusively  by  that  Department  as  soon 
as  a  building  for  the  Plant  Breeding  Department  is  provided.  The  building  is 
thoroughly  equipped,  and  affords  ample  opportunities  for  undergraduate  instruction 
and  for  advanced  study. 

The  Department  has  a  tract  of  about  one  hundred  and  seventy-five  acres  of  open 
land  which  is  being  used  for  forest  planting;  another  tract  of  thirty-eight  acres,  partly 
open  and  partly  wooded;  and  eight  woodlots,  including  stands  of  white  pine,  hard- 
woods, and  hemlock.  All  these  lands  are  within  three  miles  of  the  university  campus. 
The  Department  has  planted  more  than  seventy  acres  of  its  land  with  experimental 
and  demonstrational  plantations.     There  is  also  a  forest  nursery.

A  forestry  library  of  more  than  fourteen  hundred  bound  volumes,  including  files 
of  forestry  periodicals,  is  included  in  the  University  Library.  The  Department  has 
an  excellent  collection  of  forestry  instruments. 

REQUIREMENTS  FOR  ADMISSION 

The  following  classes  of  students  are  admitted  to  the  work  of  the  Department 
of  Forestry  of  the  New  York  State  College  of  Agriculture: 

1.  Persons  who  desire  to  begin,  as  freshmen,  the  regular  undergraduate  course 
leading  to  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Science. 

2.  Persons  who  have  already  attended  some  college  or  university  and  desire 
to  enter  with  advanced  standing. 

3.  Persons  who  desire  admission  as  graduate  students,  candidates  for  the  de- 
gree Master  in   Forestry. 

4.  Persons  who  desire  admission  as  graduate  or  as  special  students  but  not  as 
candidates  for  a  degree. 

Students  are  admitted  on  examination,  or  on  presenting  credentials  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  the  State  of  New  York,  or  on  acceptable  school  certificates.  It  is  strongly 
recommended  that,  when  possible,  prospective  forestry  students  shall  include  solid 
geometry  and  plane  trigonometry  among  the  elective  subjects  offered  for  admission. 

Further  information  regarding  entrance  as  a  freshman  and  admission  to  advanced 
undergraduate  standing  may  be  obtained  by  addressing  The  Registrar,  Cornell  Uni- 
versity, Ithaca,  New  York;  requests  for  the  General  Circular  of  Information  (con- 
taining details  regarding  entrance  requirements  and  other  information  for  prospective 
students)  should  be  addressed  to  The  Secretary,  Cornell  University. 

Correspondence  regarding  admission  as  a  graduate  student,  and  requests  for 
copies  of  the  Announcement  of  the  Graduate  School,  should  be  sent  to  the  Dean  of 
the  Graduate  School,  Cornell  University. 


A  NEW  YORK  STATE  WOODLOT  AFTER  AN  IMPROVEMENT  THINNING 


Candidates  for  the  degree  Master  in  Forestry,  admitted  as  graduate  students, 
must  have  had  training  substantially  equivalent  to  the  first  four  years  of  the  pro- 
fessional forestry  course  given  at  Cornell  University,  and  also  at  least  three  months 
experience  in  forestry  work  or  in  a  logging  camp,  satisfactory  proofs  of  which  must 
be  furnished.  A  student  entering  the  Graduate  School  as  a  candidate  for  the  degree 
Master  in  Forestry  should  enter  at  the  beginning  of  the  third  (summer)  term;  other- 
wise it  will  be  difficult  to  arrange  his  work  satisfactorily. 

Students  who  enter  as  graduates  without  having  had  undergraduate  instruction 
in  forestry  should  be  able  to  complete  the  work  for  the  Master's  degree  in  two  years 
if  they  have  had  the  equivalent  of  most  of  the  courses,  other  than  forestry,  required 
of  undergraduates  in  the  Department  of  Forestry. 

Work  for  the  degree  Doctor  of  Philosophy  may  also  be  done  in  forestry. 

Prospective  forestry  students,  of  whatever  class,  are  urged  to  correspond  with 
the  Department  of  Forestry  for  general  information  regarding  the  courses  desired. 

EXPENSES 

Tuition.  Tuition  in  the  New  York  State  College  of  Agriculture  is  free  to  both 
graduate  and  undergraduate  students  who  for  a  year  or  more  immediately  preceding 
admission  have  been  residents  of  the  State  of  New  York.  The  annual  tuition  fee  lor 
both  regular  and  special  students  from  outside  the  State  is  $125.  All  the  work  of  a 
graduate  student,  candidate  for  the  degree  of  Master  in  Forestry,  will  be  in  the  Col- 
lege of  Agriculture. 

Other  fees  and  expenses.  Other  fees  are  as  follows:  matriculation  fee,  paid  when 
entering  the  University,  $5;  fee  for  baccalaureate  degree,  $10;  fee  for  advanced  de- 
gree, $20;  infirmary  fee,  $3  a  term.  Laboratory  fees  are  required  in  various  courses. 
The  fee  for  the  summer  camp  in  surveying,  in  the  summer  following  the  sophomore 


year,  is  $35,  which  includes  board  and 
lodging  for  six  weeks.  The  expenses  of  the 
third  term  camp,  in  the  summer  following 
the  junior  and  senior  years,  were,  in  1915: 
for  board  in  camp,  ten  weeks,  $55;  for 
railroad  fares,  about  $15. 

The  expense  for  textbooks,  instruments, 
and  the  like,  varies  from  $10  to  $75  a  year. 
The  cost  of  living  in  Ithaca,  including  board, 
room,  heat,  and  light,  varies  from  $5.50  to 
$10  a  week. 

Information  regarding  opportunities  for 
self-support  may  be  obtained  from  the 
Cornell  University  Christian  Association 
and  from  the  Secretary  of  the  University. 

COURSES  OF  INSTRUCTION 
IN  FORESTRY 

The  following  paragraphs  outline  more 
in  detail  the  work  of  the  professional  for- 
estry students.  For  a  complete  description 
of  the  various  courses  offered,  with  hours, 
credits,  laboratory  fees,  and  the  like,  the 
Announcement  of  the  New  York  State  Col- 
lege of  Agriculture  for  the  current  year 
should  be  consulted.  This  publication  will 
be  sent,  postage  prepaid,  on  application  to  the  Secretary  of  the  College  of  Agricul- 
ture, Cornell  University,  Ithaca,  New  York. 

For  students  who  wish  only  general  instruction  in  forestry,  six  courses  are  offered 
as  directly  designed  to  meet  their  requirements.  There  are  also  open  to  such  students 
a  number  of  other  courses,  if  they  can  meet  the  necessary  prerequisites. 

For  special  students  who,  either  as  graduates  or  as  undergraduates,  desire  courses 
in  forestry  but  are  not  candidates  for  a  degree,  work  will  be  arranged  to  suit  indi- 
vidual needs.
